To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WVILLIAM F. CoRUu, a citizen of the United States, residing at Alexandria, in the county of Douglas, State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bag-Ties and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention is an improved bag-tie; and it consists in the construction, combination, and arrangement of devices hereinafter described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a bag-tie embodying my improvements. Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the same.

My improved bag-tie comprises a base 30 and a button 33. The base is for-attach ment to a bag, is provided with a projecting arm 36 at one side, having an eye for the attachment of one end of a cord 37 to pass around and secure the bag, and is further provided with a centrally-disposed socket 31 in its outer side, an opening 32, communicat ing with the center of said socket, a thread groove 34, concentric with said socket, and thread-openings 35, which communicate with said groove. The central portion of the inner side of the button, bounded by the groove 34, projects somewhat to prevent the end of the cord 37 when wrapped around the neck of the button from coming in contact shown. A rounded en of the neck through the central opening 32 in the base and has an enlarged head on the outer side of the base. This pin adapts the button for angular movement with reference to the base to facilitate the engagement of the button with and its grip on the cord when the latter is wrapped around the neck of the button in fastening the bag. The inner side of the button is convex, as shown, to facilitate the wedging of the cord between the button and the base.

What is claimed is The herein-described bagtie, comprising the base for attachment to a bag, said base being provided with a projecting arm at one side having an eye for the attachment of one end of a cord, a centrally-disposed socket in its outer side, a thread-groove concentric with said socket, an opening communicating with the center of said socket, and thread openings communicating with said groove, said outer side having the projecting central portion, in combination with the button having a neck projecting into said socket and having its end rounded, and the pivot-pin projecting from the rounded end of said neck through and angularly movable in the cen tral opening in the base, having the enlarged head on the inner side of the base and adapting the button for angular movement with reference to the base, the said button having its inner side convex, substantially as specified.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature with and wearing the threads in the openings in presence of two witnesses.

35 and groove 34, by which the base is secured to the bag.

The button 33 has the neck 34 projecting into the socket 31 and rounded at its end, as
